At the end of the day, a visit to Paris is about walking the streets rather than all the great museums. Here are my thoughts about and images from my October 2025 trip to Paris.
Expat in Paris (II)
I love walking the streets of Paris and visiting its cemeteries. Here are my thoughts and images from an October 2025 trip to Paris
Expat in Paris (I)
A trip to Paris is always an enjoyable experience. In October 2025, I made yet another trip, revisiting Notre Dame de Paris, the Pantheon, La Villette, and the Canal Saint-Martin. Here is Part I of a multi-part article that includes my thoughts and images from my journey.
Grumpy in NYC
I spent a week in New York City beginning July 21. While there, I visited several museums, went to both Governors Island and Ellis Island, and did plenty of walking. Here are my thoughts about and photographs from an invigorating week.
Trouble in Philly
On July 17, 2025, I attended the Good Trouble Lives On demonstration in Philadelphia. Its focus was on civil and human rights, which is appropriate given the nod to the late civil rights icone and Congressman John Lewis’ pet phrase, “Good Trouble.” Here are my thoughts about and images from the demonstration.
Trump's Folly
Saturday, I attended Donald J. Trump’s parade honoring the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday, which just so happened to coincide with Trump’s 79th birthday. Here are my thoughts about and images from what is best characterized as Trump’s Folly.
Refuse Fascism
Last Saturday, before Donald J. Trump’s $45 million dollar 79th birthday bash (i.e., military parade), I covered a Refuse Fascism rally and march that ended within “sight and sound” of the White House. Here are my thoughts about and images from the event.
Remembering
Before Donald J. Trump’s vanity parade this past Saturday, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund held its annual In Memory Day ceremony. Rather than holding it at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall on the National Mall, VVMF was forced by the Secret Service to move the ceremony to Alexandria, Virginia. Here are my thoughts about and images from this moving remembrance.
